So I have read that Bumblebee Groupers can be kept in Freshwater, at least when they are young, but they get redonk huge! But are there any other [smaller] groupers that can be in freshwater, at least as babies?
I have flirted with the idea of eventually getting a couple "wet pet" type saltwater fish, and puffers and groupers are the two types that interest me. But I would not set up a tank like that unless I knew I really loved the fish in question, so I'd be interested in trying out a baby grouper (if there is one besides the BB that can be started in freshwater) and then maybe transitioning it to SW later. I have also thought of trying FW puffers out but they just don't seem to have the personality of SW puffers!
(I did used to have a small SW tank for a few years, but quarantining in SW is such a pain in the butt, but so, so essential in SW it made me really dislike adding fish to the community. If I only had a couple fish in a big SW tank that would not be such a big deal!)
